Jesus the Zionist

WATCH as Asher explains that, not only was Jesus a Jew, He was a Zionist! 

1. He believed in the Torah and the Prophets. In the Torah, the land of Canaan was promised to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their offspring. After the Babylonian exile, the prophets promised the restoration of the Jews to the land and the land to the Jews. These promises of Jewish ownership were given over and over again.
   

2. In the Gospels, Jesus prophesied that the people would again go into exile but ultimately be restored. He referred to the Temple as “My Father’s House”. He referred to Jerusalem as the capital city of the coming messianic kingdom. 
   

3. And, the Bible says that He is coming again, not as a Lamb to be slaughtered, but as the Lion of the tribe of Judah leading an army of angels to destroy the nations that come to attack Jerusalem.

You can’t get much more Zionist than that!
